Vashington, July 27.~Hides will be - on the free list if boots and shoes i other manufactures of leather are luced below the rates fixed by the 1€e bill. Unless the advocates of e hides are able to carry out this -gain the whole program is to be led off. A decision to this effect 8 reached by the tariff conferees. An effort will be made to pass a e in the house conferring jurisdic n upon the conferees to agree to ver rates on leather than those med in the house bill tust Cut Rates on Leather Goods. Senator Aldrich has informed sena- 's from northwestern states that he il not consent to the abolition of the ty on hides unless there is a ma- jal cut in the rates on boots and yes and other leather goods. In no jer way, he said, can he get the tes necessary for the adoption of . report in the senate if it carries «© hides. Senators from cattle rais- : states have insisted that the only y consumers can get any benefits ym the removal of the protection hides will be by corresponding re- ctiong in the duties on boots and yes and harness. The Rhode Island jator’s views coincide with his state. nt. Senator Warren said that the west: 1 senators would not be represent. z their states if they were to con- at to the abolition of the duty on les in the interest of the manufac rers of shoes and other leather ods, unless manufacturers in New iglapd and other eastern states are mpelled to concede lower rates on ither products, While the western nators take the position that the re yval of the duty on hides will be in- rious to the cattle business, some of em say they will withdraw their pro- sts, because of the insistence of esident Taft, if reductions are made along the line in the leather hedule. The Program. The program on which the con- rees are working is as follows: Hides free, as provided by the use, against the senate rate of 15 r cent ad valorem. Sole leather 5 per cent, the same in the house bill, as against the nate rate of 15 per cent. Dressed upper leather 7% per cent, against 15 per cent in both the use and senate bills. Boots and shoes 10 per cent, as ainst 15 per cent in the house bill d 20 per cent in the senate bill. Saddlery and harness 20 per cent, against 35 per cent in the house Il and 40 per cent in the senate bill. According to “Senator Warren, the ory that beef packers are engaging tensively in the tanning business, d will be the principal beneficiaries a duty on hides has been used by e “free hide lobby” in manufactur- g sentiment against the protection ked by the cattle industry. He sub itted figures to Senator Aldrich to - used in refuting this argument. r. Warren declared that the three rgest packers in the United States \nnally tan 1,363,000 hides, which, he id, is only 7 per cent of the entire ymestic production. He denied that e beef packers are able to control e leather market. While no rates have been fixed posi vely on coal, oil, lumber, hosiery, oves, print paper, or iron ore, the mnferees have given enough consider ion to these subjects to know that would be possible to dispose of em in one brief session. It was an- unced that none of these subjects ould be closed until the conferees ‘e ready to act upon all of them. sven 12-Year-Old Boys Charged With Causing Death of Six-Year-Old Lad. Trenton, N.

Taft at Moving Picture Show. President Taft attended a special serformance at one of the moving pic- ure theaters in Washington to wit- ress the pictures made of him during iis trip to Petersburg, Va., in May last. of the State and are upon many topics. It was not surprising, therefore, that he gave reference to that common affliction of pouli- try, known as gapes. The correspondent asked for the best relief for chicks suffering with gapes, and wanted to know how $5 prevent the trouble. * " Prof. Surface replied tbat ‘‘Gapes in little chickens are caused by the eating of earth-worms. There are parasites 10 earth- worms which find their way into tbe wind- pipe of the chicken avd lodge there, where they take the form of little red worms. The hest preventive is to keep the chickens from the surface of the gronod ; or use salt or strong salt water on the soil, =o as to kill the earth-worms ; or strew strong lime or somethiog of the kind on the ground, so that the chicks will not get hoid of the worms to eat them. : “‘After the chicks have heen attacked with gapes, however, you can dislodge the worms hy making a very small loop in a twisted horse hair, draw out the tongue of the chick slightly, insert the horse hair loop in the windpipe opening, which will he seep between the forks at the hase of the tongue, and, twisting the hair aronnd, withdraw it. The worms are likely to found within the loop, or some of them will have heen thus removed, and the oper- ation can be repeated. ] “Another remedy is to dipthe tip of a s.ft feather into kerosene and insert it in the windpipe opening to dislodge and kill he worms. Such treatment, although severe, is better than letting the worms raruflh undisturbed, to severely annoy the fowls and even kill them. ; “Mixing turpentine or other substances in the food of the young poultry has nob proven satisfactory as a remedy for gapes.” SEND FOR THis FREE BULLETIN.—The Pennsylvania State College has issued a bulletin giving full information about the courses of study flered in the School of Agriculture and Experiment Station. It describes the work required in the seven four years’ courses and the two yeas’ course and makes interesting reading for any one who wishes to know the kind of training that is given young wen who want to become expert farmers, or teachers, or experimenters. A study of the pages of this balletin is convincing that the in. atruotion is most practical. A young man fitted for entrance to college usually selects one of the four years’ courses, The two years’ coarse is designed for these who want instruction in agriculture hut have not time or opportunity to fit themselves for a full college course, or else do not see their way clear to spend four years in col- lege. The two years’ course can be taken withont any entrance examinations. Last vear the School of Agriculture en- rolled 108 men in the freshmen class, 55 wen in the sophoniore, 25 in the junior, and 16 iv the senior. The enrollment in the two years’ course was 40. Nivety per- sous entered the winter courses of twelve weeks, The bulletin is free.

Ant Hills tn Grass Plots. The superintendent of a cemetery in Pottsville wrote to the Pennsylvania State College in the trouble that was being ex. perienced by some of the lot holders in that cemetery through ants buildiog hills on the lots and destroying the grass. The letter was referred to Prol. Surface, State Zoologist, Harrisburg, who gave the following information : “You can yet rid of these pests with cer- tainty, and very easily, by making holes in the ant hills to a depth of a foot or a foot and one-balf, and pouring ina geld known as carhon bisulfide or bisulfied of carbon. Use about one-half teacapfal of this to each hill, making the holes two or three [leet apart, in accordance with the size of the ant hill and the porosity of the ground. For a heavy clay soil, they must be nearer, but for a light, sandy soil, they can be nearly three feet apart. holes can be made with a eharpened stick. A broom handle, pointed at theend, will answer She purpose. After the liquid has Been Juni , close the holes with earth, and keep the mound covered with a wet blapkes for an hour or two. The oar- bon bisulfide will not injure vegetation, bus will kill the ants.” —Do you know where you can geta fine fat mess mackerel, bone out, Sechler & Co. Lime a Fertilizer.

This is seashore time. The dog days call to the worker in home, office, and mill and the answer brings up thoughts of the many resorts beside the sea where comfort, recreation, and pleasure alike await the coming of the holi- day maker, Along the shores of New Jersey from Cape May to Sandy Hook lie forty beaches, each offering delights for outings long or short and each easily accessible by the splendid train service of the Pennsylvania Railroad. Atlantic City, with its myriad attractions for young and old, needs no introduction, for its charms are known from the Atlantic to the Pa- cific. Cape may, for a century the summering place of satisfied thous- ands of seekers after cool breezes, fine bathing, and the refined amuse- ments of the seaside, is more attractive than ever in its new life. Ocean City, Wildwood, Sea Isle City, with their smaller neigh- bors, Anglesea, Holly Beach, Wildwood Crest, Avalon, and Stone Harbou, afford summer pleasure to To the north lie Beach Haven, thousands. Seaside Park, Island Heights and the other resorts about Barnegat Bay, where the lover of fishing and sailing finds choicest sport. Asbury Park, Ocean Grove, Spring Lake, Long Branch, Sea Girt, Point Pleasant, Allenhurst, Elberon, and Belmar on the Upper Coast where the country meets the sea right on the beach, appeal with mighty force to the vacationist. Any Pennsylvania Railroad Ticket Agent will be glad to give full information regarding excursion rates, time of trains and arrange your outing whether it be a day, a week or the whole summer. 54-30 2t et idea that lime is only a corrective agenoy, in the way of reducing and neutralizing she acidity of the soil, and putting it in better physical condition, and thus making the environments of the plant more con- dooive to its growth. This theory is perhaps correct as far as it oes, but it does not go far enough, and it 5 therefore erroneous and misleading. Why do not these writers say to the farmer that lime, in addition to being a corrective apie for the soil, is an essential element of fertility ; thas soil deficient in lime is an unproductive toil ; that if the requisite lime content of the soil is lacking plants will not attain their full growth aod develop- ment ontil lime is supplied in the amount lacking, and that a and fertile soil is an impossibility without available lime to the extent of she plans requirements. As a farther proo! of my contention, Director Thorne of the Ohio Agricultural Experiment Station says : *‘When the land begins to need lime, it is a waste of time, en and money to continue to cultivate it until this need is supplied, for the econom- ical use of every other fertilizing material, including manure, depends upon the lime supply.

If this statement of Director Thorne be correct, and there seems to be no doubt of its being so, then lime is more essentially a fertilizer than either nitrogen, potash or phosphorus, in that these elements of fertil- ity will not bave their full effect on the crop unless the requisite amount of lime is sapplied. me adds to the soil an element neo- essary to the growth of the plant, and it has the farther effect of making available the nitrogen, and esphoras, and in this way it performs a double service as ELwooD NEWBERRY. a fertilizer.
